The complex also includes a sauna (open from 7:00 to 23:00), a sports room, billiard and table tennis corners, a coin-operated laundry, tennis courts, and ski storage with a drying room. The spacious lobby features massage chairs for post-bath relaxation.

Further details can be found on the Mount Marina Kusatsu official website.
The location in Kusatsu Town, Gunma Prefecture, places you in one of Japan's most famous hot spring resorts, renowned for its high-quality, acidic springs. The area is surrounded by the beautiful Joshin'etsukogen National Park, offering stunning mountain scenery and outdoor activities year-round. A major landmark and primary tourist attraction is the iconic Yubatake ("Hot Water Field") in the center of Kusatsu Onsen town, where steaming, mineral-rich water is cooled and distributed to the many bathhouses—a spectacular and photogenic sight that defines the area.
